Shout out to @oslo_agency for putting together the new printed menus, hell of a job as always!

Yeah, the rumours are true. Avocado On Toast has been taken off the menu here at Laynes. In its place is this new number - SMASHED PEAS AND CANNELLINI BEANS - Sourdough Toast, Radish, Almond, Lemon Herb Oil - Add Feta if you want to, it’s #vegan if you don’t. #leeds

One of the new dishes on the menu - BRAISED BEANS - Jalapeno Cornbread, Smoked Paprika Fried Egg, Pickled Chillies, Lime. 📷- @reeceleung

The Shakshuka we serve is here to stay, we’ve just given it a little tweak! 📷- @reeceleung

We’re now serving a new menu at Laynes. We wanted to change up the rarebit a little bit and we’ve decided to make this a regular thing where we play around with the recipe and introduce new flavours. This first up is a spicy take that goes back to when we did a collaboration with our friends @bundobust

Bank holiday opening hours

Retail shelves right now featuring @roundhillroastery, @origincoffeeroasters and @squaremilecoffee

The fantastic Jim of the equally fantastic @evans_cycles_leeds took a bit of Laynes with him on some mad bike ride recently. Big effort!

our usual stop coming out of railway station always good both food and coffee,one of very few places i have never been disappointed with what i ordered.

amazing coffee great food and great staff.

My name is LAIN too

Wow! What an incredible place. Family friendly. Very good for value. Definitely a new regular place for us

What can I say, other than the best coffee in Leeds. The service is always efficient and friendly and the cakes perfectly match the coffee.

Superb coffee and amazing food. The chef explained each dish and was very passionate about how and where they source their produce!

10/10!�

Relaxed atmosphere with friendly efficient staff ... we were served by Emma 😊 we had cakes to die for with coffee ... a very pleasant experience thank you 😊 Lorraine

Popped in off the cuff as I'm usually running into a Starbucks at the station - im glad I did as this is the best coffee I've EVER had! The staff are friendly and for once no WiFi made me sit and read instead of work. Highly recommended

Mushroom and spinach was so nice and really recommended as a little extra for your eggs 🍳

Lovely food, staff and setting. Sat in the window watching the world go by sipping on my lovely coffee x

Lovely food, clean premises and friendly staff, so good that I intend to return again for breakfast today. X

Looooooove this place. Everything is done with great quality ingredients and attention to detail. Avocado and mushrooms on sourdough is �(better wifi/signal would be nice though)

It takes a lot of things to make a fantastic coffee shop. Laynes has tied up all of them in a tasteful, boutique hideaway with not only exquisite coffee, but excellent service, a great soundtrack and masterful Baristas. Truly the finest coffee shop I've been to in a long time, and more than worth a visit if you care about good coffee.

If your looking for great tasting coffee done properly, then look no further Laynes is the place to be. Neatly run Expresso Bar located in a prime location, and owned by the legend that is Dave. Yh will be back!

I'd like to say well done on your wonderful new revamp, it looks lovely, has kept the winning cosiness of Laynes but added space and comfort. Well done all of you, as usual I had a great coffee this morning!

I love this place. ❤ When i finished the barista school, i decided i'll taste some flat white in Leeds. I was so curious... This is the 1st place where I got real flat white. Without sugar is the best. Honestly my favourite is espresso, so next time I drink only espresso in my place.

I have been coming to Laynes on and off for about a year and a half and I've had a fair amount of coffee here... Just wanted to say that every cup has been the best cup of coffee I have ever had! I don't know how you do it...:)

I came in with my friend at the weekend and I ordered soya cappuccino. I've not been to Laynes before, even though I've heard such good things. So decided it was time! This was the best cappuccino I have EVER been served. It was immaculately presented. The froth was perfect and I couldn't have appreciated my little coffee and catch up more ❤️

Fantastic option located next to train station.

Great coffee ... beautiful presentation.

Cakes looked amazing but opted for breakfast (which was perfect)

Only challenge will be the popularity versus the number of tables.

Looking forward to using on my commute.

Great job guys!

Fabulous place, friendly staff, great coffee and the food....words fail :D My favourite place for a treat breakfast - whether it’s avocado and sumac on sourdough, buckwheat pancakes or sweetcorn fritters. Always beautifully presented and packed with flavour!
